Turok: PLAYSTATION 3 & Xbox 360 Versions Are Identical

According to a Gameplayer preview of Propaganda Games' upcoming dino-event of 2008 title, Turok, both versions of the title look exactly the same. They write:

"So here it is: the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game play identically. Yes, you read that right, Propaganda Games has the Unreal Engine 3 working on the PS3 and not only does it look quite stunning, swapping Gears of War’s desolate Sera for a tropical paradise terrorized by geckos that can bite your head off, but it glides along as smoothly as a silk scarf off a baby’s bum. At multiple points during our six hours in front of the game we jumped between the consoles on the fly and there wasn’t a performance issue in sight. And any reviewer will tell you straight up, that just hasn’t been happening with most multi-format releases!"
Could this be one of the few titles lessening the difference between both consoles? Will other developers follow their doings? Time will tell, but it's good to hear that this title won't be taking sides.

Turok is releasing in February 2008 from TouchStone and Propaganda Games.

It was only a matter of time. Developers didn't know what the heck they were doing with the SPUs in the PS3. Now that they have about a year (and maybe a few months) with the system they're getting better.

The only thing we may not see are multi-platform games taking advantage of the PS3 (unless the released is delayed). Because of the extra space on the Blu-Ray disc and being guaranteed an HDD on every system, devs will have to keep the 360's limitations in mind.
